POEM - How to Carry a Mountain

Maybe the softer approach
Will be the thing this time
That moves the mountain
The rocky pile of stones
You seem intent on carrying
And I want to lend a hand
I have strength to lift your loads
But a show of strength
Throws off your balance
Makes you lose your grip
Threaten to have the load come down
In a thunderous avalanche
So I will be the whisper
Of the cooling breeze
Caressing your anguished face
A slight refreshing chill
One good thing
Enough
Just enough
To take another step forward

  1. So often I've been there, carrying the mountain. Friends would often ask "How can I help?" and I had no response. A cool breeze, that's good imagery.
